Hi ! I have the following problems with the X-windows-system on my Fujitsu-Siemens-Amilo-6100-Laptop and as I am not a real expert it's difficult for me to find out a correct solution without destroying my screen (I have already read the XFree86-HOWTO but this didn't really help) Usually X works fine when starting and running KDE. During working there are no problems but: Most of the time (I'd say 8 times out of 10) X doesn't shutdown correctly. When I turn off my computer with the shutdown-menu-button in gdm the screen first gets black and after 3 seconds the screen gets brighter and brighter beginning from the bottom of the screen, then brightening up the whole screen to the top, like if it was BURNING off !! :-((( So I always have to turn off quickly the laptop by the "hardware-turn-off-button" as I fear to destroy the screen otherwise. But this is not only uncomfortable but also doesn't turn off the computer correctly (filesystem-checks necessary on reboot, etc.) The strange thing is that sometimes X shuts down correctly, after the black screen it shows plain text (as linux always does when it turns on or off), and the system is going down in a normal way without brightening the whole screen. I couldn't find out when the correct shutdown happens, it seems to be by "hazard". Usually I close all my applications when I am going to shutdown the computer, sometimes I let one or to open (and then sometimes it shuts down correctly) but this doesn't really help and make sense. Can some (X-)expert tell me what I have to change? At the moment I am using gdm for login and KDE2.2 as it was shipped with the Debian-Woody-Release. The video-card is a Lynx3DM from Silicon Motion. (Could it be that GDM and KDE does not work together properly??) In the attachment I am sending you my actual X-4x-Config-file. Help would be really appreciated. thx in advance!! -- best regards, salut, liebe Grüsse, Richard Palfalvi "Werde was Du bist - Deviens ce que tu es - Become what you are" :-)) Austria - Vienna - Autriche - Vienne - Österreich - Wien - Austria - Vienna +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
